CPA - Does It Pay?
Cost Per Action is sometimes seen as the next step on from building niche sites and marketing ClickBank products.
Sometimes CPA is seen as a better prospect for shorter term profits than waiting forever for your site to rank high on Google.
Unfortunately unlike, say ClickBank, CPA networks are somewhat choosy in who they let in.
For one thing they do a kind of interview with you, normally on the phone, to find out if you know what you are talking about, how you will market their client and if you are a proper company rather than a 12 year kid sitting in his bedroom.
When you join a CPA network you are normally assigned an Affiliate Manager who's job it is to make sure you make as much money as possible.
Affiliate Managers help you to choose the right products that fit your form of marketing, their main aim is to help you earn cash.
Now, they do this for a specific reason.
They earn bonus on what their marketers earn the company.
It can also happen the other way round that the less you bring in the less the contact you.
Saying that I have yet to find a bad A.
M.
, normally they are very approachable, helpful and keep in touch with you.
There are so many CPA offers that it sometimes a little bewildering for the beginner.
Zip and Email submits are an ideal way for the beginner to get into CPA, they are by far the best converter.
You also want to start off on a Pay Per Lead rather than a Pay Per Sale basis.
As soon as someone clicks through and enters their email address or Zip code then you get anything from 60 cents to $2 for each one.
The great thing about these offers is that you will still earn cash even if nothing is bought which makes it a beginners ideal.
What you must also realise is that if you let through too much traffic that is not targeted enough you will generate a lot of leads but the advertiser will not close many sales and you could face being dropped by them.
To be honest it is not free money, they are not doing it for you, they want to close sales.
You have to be very careful when choosing which client or product to market with CPA.
The strictness in the way they insist you market a client products means you may not be suitable.
Keep an eye on the methods of marketing the client allows, some allow Banners but not Social media other will allow PPC but not Email.
PPC Search is allowed by most but you have to watch what key-phrases are allowed, some restrict you from using brand names for instance.
CPA can be very lucrative so it is best to abide by the rules, too many complaints and you will get banned from the network and lose access to the clients.
Some people try and join other networks after receiving a ban but they do not realise that these guys all talk to each other so you may end up in a situation where none of them will have you.
Getting it right and making money is a bit of trial and error with CPA.
In CPA it takes a bit of trial and error to see what actually works for you.
Sometimes you will need to change campaign type (freeby to survey for instance) sometimes you will need to change your landing page to get the right mix.
Guaranteed though is once you get all the right things together the cash will start to come in.
When you finally get the right combination stick with it as a lot of CPA offers stay HOT for quite a few months, some even years.
